Braised Short Ribs

Beef short ribs browned and braised in red wine until they fall from the bone, served with their own sauce.

Serves 4

By Patrick Clark

Clark's winter cooking leaned on long braises, and short ribs were a favorite. The meat is seared hard, then cooked slowly with wine and aromatics until it is completely tender and the sauce has reduced to a glaze.

Ingredients

Produce

  • 2 carrots
  • 1 onion
  • 4 clove garlic

Meat & Poultry

  • 4 lb beef short ribs

Spices & Seasoning

  • 4 sprig thyme

Other

  • 1 bottle dry red wine

Method

  1. Season the short ribs and brown them deeply on all sides in a heavy pot. Set them aside.

  2. Soften the carrot, onion, and garlic in the same pot, then add the wine and scrape up the browned bits.

  3. Return the ribs with the thyme and enough stock or water to come halfway up. Cover and braise at 325°F for two and a half to three hours.

  4. Lift out the ribs, strain and degrease the cooking liquid, and reduce it to a sauce. Serve the ribs with the sauce spooned over and mashed potatoes alongside.
